Of Corsets and Garters

We reported earlier of finding a newspaper article that recounted the opening of an office in Providence where prospective patients for the new state sanatorium would be examined. The article advised patients to pack plenty of heavy clothing to dress warmly for open-air sleeping and admonished women against bringing corsets with them.

We have now tracked down the location of the doctor's office in Providence: the site of the modern-day Satin Doll strip club, where corsets are permitted and undressing is expected to be done hotly.
